                             STOP OBAMACARE

  (Mr. GUTHRIE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, just last week the administration chose to 
delay implementation of the employer mandate by 1 year. While this 
delay grants business owners more time to determine their options, it 
is not the repeal that we need.
  The House majority leadership sent a letter to President Obama today 
asking him to explain what prompted a delay in the employer mandate. 
The American people--families like yours and mine--are left wondering 
what led to this decision and why the individual mandate, which will be 
just as costly, remains in place. I join my colleagues in requesting 
this vital information.
  The requirements of the health care law have always left more 
questions than answers. I continue to hear from Kentuckians who wonder 
if they will lose their coverage, be forced to choose different 
providers, or be saddled with enormous new costs. ObamaCare continues 
to be the train wreck that will destroy jobs, and we have to stop it.
